Nina Simone - And Piano! (Vinyl LP, Music on Vinyl 180g, 2011) - EX / EX

Nina Simone’s Nina Simone and Piano! is a stark, intimate recording built almost entirely around Simone’s voice and piano. Originally released in 1969, the stripped-back setting places the focus firmly on her phrasing, emotional intensity and singular approach to interpreting a song. Highlights include “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today,” “Everyone’s Gone to the Moon” and “Who Am I,” making this one of the more exposed and personal recordings in her catalogue.
